A Quick Facts Past Weather Reportprovides you with a complete analysis of the meteorological data pertinent to a particular case, claim or incident, with little or no expert opinions. These short reports are most helpful in establishing the following: the proper weather foundation surrounding your case, planning strategies and corroborating various testimonies. On average, short reports require 1 – 4 hours of research, and can be supplemented with a more detailed comprehensive report at a later date and time.

A Comprehensive Past Weather Reportincludes our weather expert opinions as they apply to your case and requires 4 – 7 hours or more of work, depending on the intensity and depth of research requested. In addition, our Meteorologists will typically review any supporting documents pertinent to the case; such as, Deposition transcripts, Interrogatories, police reports, snow plowing contracts, adversarial expert reports, conduct a site inspection if necessary, etc.

Certified Past Weather Data:

Most of the past weather data we reference and utilize is accessed from the world’s largest active archive of weather data, the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). The highest form of certification the NCDC offers is a two part certification under the Seal of the United States Department of Commerce with blue ribbon. This type of certification is signed by both the NCDC Records Custodian and the NCDC Director as the Certifying Officer.
